Full Description

Two ditches were recorded during the monitoring of groundworks for an extension to The Manor House, Freckenham. Both ditches pre-dated the house, built in the 17th century, and one represented the former field boundary that was re-aligned to accommodate the building. Finds from the ditch included fragments of a glazed earthenware horticultural pot dating to 16th-18th century and medieval roof tile roof tile which supports the suggestion that the current building is on the site of an earlier manor house (S1).
